Westbound. Westbound U.S. 26 will be closed between Interstate 405 and Sylvan. Westbound traffic should take I-5 south to northbound OR 217. The ramp from Clay St to U.S. 26 westbound will be closed. The ramp from Jefferson St to U.S. 26 westbound will be closed.
Crews will be installing a new sign bridge that will cross all lanes of the Sunset Highway and will install a new sign above the opening of the westbound Vista Ridge Tunnel.
This work will include the installation of a new sign bridge between the Oregon Zoo and the Sylvan Interchange. A sign will also be installed at the Vista Ridge Tunnel on the westbound tunnel face.
The newly installed ODOT RealTime signs will not be operational immediately as work still needs to be done connecting them into the network. The signs will remain dark/off for the time being.
